What are the time limits for filing a mechanic's Lien?

If they are working for a general contractor, then 90 days for employees, vendors and subcontractors, unless a Notice of Completion is recorded, and then it is 30 days. 90 days for the general contractor and anyone else who has a contract with the owner directly, unless a Notice of Completion is recorded, and then it is 60 days. But these dates can be waived or extended. So a title company will not rely on just the expiration of 30, 60 or 90 days to insure title clear of such liens. Fortunately, they will usually insure in reliance on an indemnity from the seller or borrower. If you appreciate this free advice, please remember to refer me to any friends or acquaintances who need a lawyer. Referrals are still our best source of new business. Do you have a revocable living trust to protect your heirs against probate? Probate takes forever, is expensive, and is annoying. Do your family a favor. Set up a trust, and put all your property, especially any real property, into the trust. Since it is revocable, you can change it, add to it, take property out of it, or even cancel it completely, at any time. We set up such trusts, provide a pour-over will as a back-up for any property that does not make it into the trust, provide you with blank durable powers of attorney for health care and financial decisions, in case you become incapable of making such decisions while still alive, and convey one piece of real property to the trust, usually the family home, for $1500.00. If you would like to hire me to do this, let me know, and I'll send you a list of the information I need. Dana Sack
